anti-bullying

Bullying has always been an issue in schools. Recently it has gained more attention. I believe this is due to the increased presence of social media in society in today. I was in 8th grade when I got my Facebook account, and only in 6th grade when I got my first MySpace account. Lately, kids have been creating these personal social media accounts at younger ages. These social medias accounts are also more accessible to younger students because of the increase in number of children that have smartphones. There have been many cases throughout the US where students have been cyber-bullied. Everyone has been trying to combat bullying and find a solution to it, but I don’t believe that we can fully find a solution to it because it all comes down to each individual bully’s behavior. We cannot make some one change their behavior because we simply cannot control everyone. While I agree that bullying is an issue, I don’t believe that I can be the solution.
